Search Begins for New Bermuda Women’s Head Coach
|
The Bermuda Football Association (BFA) has formally opened the search for a new Senior Women’s National Team Head Coach following the departure of long-serving manager Naquita Robinson.
Robinson stepped down from the national hot seat earlier this year, bringing the curtain down on a monumental tenure that spanned more than a dozen years in charge of the international squad.
The vacancy marks the end of an era for the Gombey Warriors, with the governing body now looking to install a progressive successor capable of capitalizing on the rapid growth of the women's game across the island.
In a statement, a BFA spokesperson confirmed the recruitment drive: “The Bermuda Football Association is seeking an experienced and passionate Head Coach to lead our Senior Women’s National Team.
“We’re looking for a leader who is committed to player development, demonstrates integrity, and shares a passion for growing women’s football in Bermuda."
The incoming manager will inherit a transitioning squad hungry to make an impact on the regional stage within the Concacaf framework. Aspiring candidates have been instructed to submit their cover letters, professional résumés, official coaching qualifications, and references directly to the association's communications department.
The BFA spokesperson added: "Join us in shaping the future of Bermuda football. One Team. One Island. Our Game.”

Pickering and Bermuda Miss Out on Pan Am Games
|
Bermuda’s archers suffered the ultimate sporting agony at the 2026 Pan American Championships in Tlaxcala, Mexico, missing out on qualification for the Pan Am Games by just a single place in both the individual and team events.
On a day of relentless tension, the fine margins of international archery laid bare how brutal the sport can be. Despite delivering stellar individual campaigns against the continent's elite, the Bermudian contingent was left wondering what might have been.
Camerin Pickering came agonizingly close to sealing his ticket to Lima. In a magnificent display of precision under pressure, Pickering stormed his way to an incredible fifth-place finish in the final individual rankings.
Under standard tournament regulations, a top-four finish guarantees automatic qualification. However, a glimmer of hope appeared due to a performance bottleneck at the top of the leaderboard: heavyweights Canada filled two of the qualification spots but were restricted by quota caps to taking just one individual place.
The reallocation meant the qualification line dropped down the standings, but it stopped exactly one spot short. Pickering was left holding sixth place—just a single point and one position away from the dream ticket.
Behind him, teammates Jaydon Roberts and Bernard Wade III also put in highly respectable shifts against a world-class field, finishing 15th and 24th respectively.
If Pickering's individual near-miss was tough to swallow, the heartbreak was compounded in the team standings.
Bermuda's trio combined for a gritty, unified display on the target line, aiming to break into the crucial top eight to book their collective passage to the Games.
Instead, they duplicated the individual agony. Bermuda finished the team event in ninth place overall—once again, the loneliest number in sport—as the top eight countries celebrated their qualification packages right in front of them.
While the Tlaxcala campaign will be remembered for its bitter conclusions, the sheer proximity to the continent's powerhouse nations proves this Bermudian squad belongs on the big stage. They will have to regroup quickly, with secondary qualifying opportunities next year offering one final shot at redemption.

Pickering Smashes National Record but Agony for Bermuda
|
Camerin Pickering etched his name into the history books with a sensational, record-breaking performance at the Pan American Championships, though there was heartbreak for Bermuda’s men in the team event.
On a day of immense high drama on the archery range, Pickering put on a masterclass of precision and composure during individual qualifying, shattering the Men’s Individual Recurve 70m National Record.
The Bermudian talisman racked up a staggering 653 points out of a possible 720. Crucially, that magnificent haul sees him cruise past the elite Minimum Qualification Score of 650, firmly establishing his credentials on the international stage and securing a superb 17th-place finish overall.
While Pickering stole the headlines, it proved to be a grueling day at the office for the rest of the Bermudian contingent against a world-class field.
Bernard Wade III put up a spirited fight to finish 45th overall, carding a score of 591. Jaydon Roberts wasn't far behind his compatriot, locking down 47th place with 534 points, while Robert O’Connor completed the Bermudian individual line-up in 50th position with a score of 443.
The collective focus then turned to the high-stakes Team Shoot, where the stakes could not have been higher. A coveted top-eight finish would guarantee a spot at the prestigious Lima 2027 Pan American Games.
Bermuda pushed heavyweights Canada all the way in a tense, nerve-shredding encounter. However, it wasn't quite to be. The Reds narrowly succumbed to a 5-3 defeat, agonizingly missing out on early qualification for Peru.
Despite the bitter disappointment of coming so close, the qualification dream is far from over. This resilient Bermudian squad will have one final opportunity to book their tickets to Lima at the secondary qualifying event next year.
